Pumpkin is autumn’s unofficial mascot - earthy, vibrant, and perfectly timed for the seasonal shift. Harvested late August to October, it’s ideal for baking thanks to its natural sweetness and dense texture. Rich in beta-carotene, it mirrors the changing leaves and pairs beautifully with warming spices. Locally grown pumpkins are at peak flavour now - sweet, firm, and nutrient-rich - turning any bake into a seasonal ritual.
